Ripe and generous with lovely freshness. This is a very elegant Haut-Médoc that has excellent balance and a long, almost silky finish that makes it easy to enjoy right now. Drink or hold.

This richly structured wine manages to maintain balance and plenty of black-fruit acidity. Showing a firm texture that will soften, it's a blend of equal parts of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, with just a touch of Petit Verdot. The wine needs to age further … *Cellar Selection* (RV)

The 2016 Lamarque has a very refined bouquet with gorgeous aromas of blackberry, cedar and pressed flowers that unfurls beautifully in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with quite robust and firm tannin, but the fruit is so pure that you barely notice its arching structure. It delivers a wonderful, persistent pencil box tinged finish and a long, graphite aftertaste. This is a superb contribution to the vintage, just classic, damn delicious Left Bank Bordeaux. (NM)

The 2016 de Lamarque has an intense blackberry, cedar and gravel-scented bouquet that needs a little encouragement from the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with supple tannin, and quite saline and spicy. The generous, concentrated finish needs to develop a little more finesse. (NM)

By: Steve Bearden10/8/2020K&L Staff MemberThis starts with beguiling aromas of crushed flowers, maple and mint. The silky body is filled with layers of glossy dark fruit that hide the structure lurking underneath. Ample acidity, plenty of fruit and a fine mineral and cedar tinged finish are the hallmark of this balanced, rich wine.
